Britain's Big Cat Mystery (Official Trailer)

My problem with this is that it all appears to have gone "Finding Bigfoot" with a "team" and when this clip was forwarded to me by someone whoi retired from UK non native cat research he asked "Why aren't you involved -did you refuse again?"



You see, I was the UK police forces exotic anmal on-call expert (not the only one but the one specialising in Felids and Canids) when it came to identifying tracks, live stock and wild life carcasses suspected of having been predated and so on from 1977-2013 (officially). I have contributed to technical papers on non native cats for seminars and have worked with several professors from universities who were looking into the non native cat issue -no one who is serious uses t6he term "British Big Cat". Because I still get calls from police and observers my telephgone numjber has not changed since 1983. I am also easily found online.



I wrote the Red Paper: Felids on the subject and although I tried as much as I could to avoid it, I did appear in at least two documentaries, TV reports and magazines as an "expert" -a term I never use since there really is no such thing as can expert on this, kinowledgeable yes. I also featured regularly on radio programmes from Scotland to Wales, England, Australia and so on.  Also, you have to add to that the stack of news clippings from all over the country -local, regional and national in which I was asked about non native cats.



My ego is not bruised, incidentally, since it is something I lack. My question is that if this is a serious documentary why would the makers pull in people who, to be honest, were probably not born when I started doing this?



Luckily, I do not watch (or have a) television so I am not tempted to watch.  My bet is that this is going to become the next subject that sinks and gets lost in a mire of showmanship and unfactual entertainment.
